My Dear Fanny; I suppose when you see my writing you will say–”I suppose she wants a girl.” but this time I want even more. My husband wishes me to ask you–if you know of any married men who would like a position of overseer on a two hundred acre farm. One who would be able to take charge of keep–so Mr Benzing could be relieved of the care. If he could get a man with one or two sons--he would have them too. His farm is situated a short distance from the city on a trolley line. I used to be a dairy farm but owing to poor leep] it is a now a grain farm but he may go into the dairy business again with a suitable man. He has two fairly good men now but the third one is not competent There are three houses in the place. I hope you are well] as also your family, what is your daughter doing? My sister and Iwere at Peterboro most of the Summer. I went into Canada and my husband on a fishing trip and he was with us in Peterboro for a time, but the farm kept him here in B. Should you know] of any one tell them to write to
Mr. A. J. Benzing
27 Cleveland Ave
B. for terms or I Thought Mr Ames might know of some good farmer. The holidays are nearly upon us can’t you come + do your Xmas Shopping with me? -Lovingly-
